API Client

The API Client is where you run HTTP requests defined in your workspace configs and inspect the results.

Instead of building requests through a UI, you describe them in JSON files (collections/*.json) and let Api Studio execute them. This keeps your API usage close to your code and easy to version-control.

What it does​

  • Sends HTTP requests based on your request config:
    • Method, URL, query, headers, body.
    • Resolved with variables from workspace, environment, collection, and request.
  • Applies requestMiddleware (if present) before the request is sent:
    • Last chance to modify the request.
    • Optionally handle auth, logging, or custom workflows.
  • Executes the request and shows:
    • Status code and status text.
    • Response headers.
    • Response body.
    • Timing information.
